[Bug 1809529] Re: Shimx64 does not know how to interact with unsecured efi bios

[Steve Langasek]

The title of this bug is certainly false.  shimx64.efi consistently
works on EFI systems with or without SecureBoot enabled.

I clicked on the first forum thread that you linked to, but it is a long
discussion and doesn't enlighten me as to what the actual problem is
that you're experiencing or why you are blaming shim for it.  Please
provide the complete output of the commands that are failing on your
system.

  Shimx64 does not know how to interact with unsecured efi bios

Bug description:
  Hello.

  Shimx64 does not know how to interact with unsecured efi bios!

  some EFI computers have not developed the secure layer.
  Shimx64 is always installed but its installation does not work.

  This installation is planting.
  When ubuntu is started by other methods, reinstalling the shimx64 package continues to crash!

  This second installation is also planting.
  It is then impossible to make the command "apt upgrade" which asks to make the command "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem because this last command also crashes!!!

  I ask you to ask the user his opinion before installing shimx64 in the nvram!
  If he says NO, do not install shimx64 in the nvram since grubx64 is enough for unsafe EFI bios....
